i like skylines wooooo

lol, i am never attempting to put an aftermarket rear bar on again.

thing p*ss*s me off so much, and now i cant get my bloody side pods bak on.

who wants to spray my rear bar midnight blue and install it for me??????

what brand is it sometimes u get what u pay for with the cheaper ones if its a good brand u should have minimal problems >_<

Just bitching about my unproductive day. Me and Jenkies decide today is that day to put my new intercooler and dump pipe on. Front bar comes off easy as, no problems. Bit of trouble trying to get the stock cooler off.

Decide to have a break before we take it off. glance over to my intercooler box, peel back a bit of packing tape and see "R33 Kit". well now, thats not what i ordered?

so anyway, put everything back together, make sure all bolts are on. ok time for dump pipe.

or, not.

nuts have seized, no chance in hell of getting them off.

so for just under 5 hours of labour, we accomplised:

- found one nut on the cat was really loose, tightened.

- removed thermo fan so cooler core will fit.

lesson for today. pay someone to do it for you.

I'm pretty sure that R32/33/34 intercooler kits are interchangeable as most of them use the factory hot pipe side of the piping and for the cold side you have to cut a hole so there won't be a problem there with lining up as well. Better pull it all back off again.

Might just take it to an exhaust shop and get them to fit it for me. That way i know if they snap a bolt, they fix it. I on the otehr hand, dont have the tools to fix anything major.

no dont coz they will make u pay for the snapped stud.

i have tried that wen i wanted my screamer on and they said nothing about it n i mentioned that sum of the nuts mite be tight n they said if it snaps it not there fault and u have to pay to get it removed.

and if nothing is mentioned about it they will still make u pay! it sucks but they class it as not there fault because they are just doing wat you asked them to do.

Yeah but the mounting brackets that were supplied wont fit.

    • Welcome!  How long have you had it? And what colour is it?
    • "CAD" version 1.0 It will have a 15mm lip around the top for 6 × 5 or 6mm nutserts and fixtures (two on each of the three straight edges), and some pinch weld on any exposed edges, it has three mounting points, one of the power steering reservoir bolts, and two on the rad support, my 120mm hole saw will make short work of hole for the silicone joiner, with ample room for some pinch weld  I've also got enough Carbuilders "peel and stick" heat shield to cover the outside of it at the coolant expansion tank and on the engine side, as pictured, and internally on the lid and where the fuse box is, I've also got some thin, about 3mm, black 3M single sided sticky foam stuff that was left over after sealing some door drafts at home to help seal the lid As for the shape, it "sort of" matches the shape of the fuse box, so shouldn't look to "out of place" The lower area and hole for the intake will need pinch weld with a balloon on it to fully seal the hole and bottom of it, that will happen after it has been fabricated so I know exactly what size is required  Filter service has been trialed,  and so far it was a simple process  Just need to get some alloy, and then head into work to use the guillotine and break press in the workshop Hopefully it should be sorted in a week or two Guestimated outlay will be under a $50 for the stuff I don't have on hand (alloy, 6mm nutserts, the pinch weld, and wrinkle paint) Disclaimer: That's what the "voices in my head" are telling me how the filter box should end up getting done......lets see if they know what they are talking about  
    • Have been polishing up the trailer rims as they had been sitting in the shed for a few years and are really in need of some love. This was after a couple of passes with chrome polish - coming up quite well ✅ .
    • Welcome aboard! Is your Skyline auto or manual? I'm assuming manual. Does it have any mods done yet?
    • Hey mate, the brown and grey plugs would usually go to the TPS, brown one goes on the bottom connector and grey is the top but isn't used unless the car is auto, your TPS looks different to mine though I've got a series 2 engine.
